A History of Shah Ismail Safawi (1939) by Ghulam Sarwar, notes that "In the ensuing winter of 1505-6, the Shah proceeded to the frontier of Adharbayjan, for suppressing [Shir] Sarim, a robber-chief of Kurdistan.
After slaughtering his followers and plundering the camp, for Shir Sarim succeeded in escaping, the Shah moved to the river Qizil-Uzfln.
"[2] In 912/1506—7 a Safavid force which had been despatched in pursuit of Sarim fought a hard battle with the Kurds in which both sides suffered heavy casualties.
Two high-ranking Qizilbash amirs were killed: ’Abdī beg Shāmlū, who was Ismail’s brother-in-law, and on the inner circle of his companions (ahl-i ikhtisās), and Sārū ’Alī Muhrdār Takkalū.
Shir Sarim's son and brother were captured and taken to Khoy, where they were put to death.
